Set up my new Rega turntable today.
What sort?
I've seen these priced a £12.5K
The more common Planar 2/3 models are not quite in that range...
I was looking at getting a P3, but after some time spent in Rayleigh HiFi, decided on a P6 with the Rega RB330 tone arm and Exact (MM) Cartridge.
Package price is set to rise a bit above £1.4k in the next two weeks. If you are thinking of getting a deck, do it now and save enough to buy a couple of new vinyl albums!
It is better than the rest of my system, and I have noticed greater clarity in cymbals over the previous turntable/tone arm/ cartridge combination JVC /Ortofon VMS3. The turntable doesn't add any noise to the sound. At all. The previous setup was prone to transmitting sounds from vibrations and shocks - like the lid closing etc.
The previous quartz locked turntable (JVC QL-A51) is still going strong and is now assisting some friends whose turntable dying was the nudge I needed to getting my system its upgrade. I bought it in the early 1980s, so I don't think it owed me anything!
